Dermatitis (Nov 2012)

Dry itchy skin, whatever the cause, can result in great discomfort and frustration. The skin can feel tight and painful, look red or flaky and be so itchy that it can keep you awake at night and make you feel miserable. It is a very common problem, particularly if you suffer from dermatitis (eczema).
